32Configuring the ICMP templateA feature that uses the ICMP template performs the ICMP operation to measure the reachability of adestination device. The ICMP template is supported in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.To configure the ICMP template:Step Command Remarks1. Enter system view. system-view N/A2. Create an ICMP template andenter its view. nqa template icmp name N/A3. (Optional.) Specify thedestination IPv4 or IPv6address of the operation.• IPv4 address:destination ip ip-address• IPv6 address:destination ipv6ipv6-addressBy default, no destination IP addressis configured.4. Specify the payload size ineach ICMP request. data-size size The default setting is 100 bytes.5. Specify the string to be filled inthe payload of each request. data-fill stringThe default setting is thehexadecimal number00010203040506070809.6. (Optional.) Specify the IPaddress of the specifiedinterface as the source IPaddress of ICMP echorequests.source interface interface-typeinterface-numberBy default, no source IP address isspecified. The requests use theprimary IP address of the outputinterface as their source IP address.The specified source interface mustbe up.If you configure the source interfacecommand with the source ip orsource ipv6 command, the mostrecent configuration takes effect.7. (Optional.) Specify the sourceIPv4 or IPv6 address for theprobe packets.• IPv4 address:source ip ip-address• IPv6 address:source ipv6 ipv6-addressBy default, no source IP address isspecified.The source IP address must be the IPaddress of a local interface, and theinterface must be up. Otherwise, noprobe packets can be sent out.Configuring the DNS templateA feature that uses the DNS template performs the DNS operation to determine the status of the server.It is supported in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.In DNS template view, you can specify the address expected to be returned. If the returned IP addressesinclude the expected address, the DNS server is valid and the operation succeeds. Otherwise, theoperation fails.Create a mapping between the domain name and an address before you perform the DNS operation.For information about configuring the DNS server, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.
